Alchemy & the Birth of Modern Science Featuring Dr. Brian Regal

Alchemy & the Birth of Modern Science Featuring Dr. Brian Regal

Meagan is joined by Substitute Sister and Professor for the History of Science at Kean University, Dr. Brian Regal, to talk about the O.G. spooky science - alchemy and its influences on science as we know it today. Although alchemists came to be associated with gold, mysticism, the Philosopher's Stone, and in some cases, fakery, many were careful experimentalists who made significant discoveries in the areas of metallurgy, chemistry, distillation, and more. ** You can get in touch with Brian via his website (https://sites.google.com/a/kean.edu/brian-regal-phd/) or on Twitter @RomeoA25. ** Want to listen without the ads?
